    How old, is too old?

    Overall, I guess there's room for it but I couldn't see an overaged newcomer being anything near a 'sensation', I could be wrong but I just can't see it. Rob Base, Rakim and Doug E. Fresh are still touring today so yeah, theres a market for good vintage rap. I dont even think Kool G Raps latest...

    How old, is too old?

    Red is 41 and still dope with it...but what little relevancy he still has I think is due to the state of todays Hip Hop. If the bar was as high as it was when Hip Hop was Hip Hop, Red would've been gone. Here's a good read about this very topic and it's 2 years old...

    How old, is too old?

    Agreed, and I would luv to see it happen. I would be one of those cats that would never go to a show but I would support by buying merchandise and albums...then again, if they hid their true identity, age, appearance...and if I couldn't tell by their lyrical content, I wouldn't have any clues of...

    How old, is too old?

    I would never tell anyone that they couldn't do it, and I would support them if they had good content BUT realistically speaking...I don't see any market for it based on my surroundings here. We can't even maintain adult JAZZ/R&B nightclubs here, the market just isn't there. Cats our age are at...

    How old, is too old?

    Out front...naaah, unless they're already established...behind the scenes (producer,mix engineer,master), age is not a factor.

    Valmont, I feel the same way...I had to find out the hard way that it doesn't matter how much work you put into a track, if it's not hot, it's just not hot. Regardless, I can't just put a drumbeat behind a huge sample and let it go...lol. Anyway, here's a good tip...I'm not sure if you have...

    Hahaha, yeah I asked that same question not long ago and the general consent was that it doesn't matter how much or how little you chop, if it's hot, IT"S HOT! Personally, when I judge a beat, I take it into consideration, an 8 bar chop with some drums added won't get my vote (personally) but...

    Planar Magnetic Headphones

    I can't find any solid reviews on them other than what 'they' claim. They seem to be top notch but I would still like to see some 'user' reviews from a producer/engineer view first.

    Adding 'Weight' To Your Snare Hits

    Personally, I use a Correlation Meter - just to make sure there's no problem with phasing. I can't even imagine adding enough bass to a snare that would create a real big problem on the bottom end but I've never tested it. Just guessing, I would say that its possible but I'm almost sure that...
